The score line is flattering Casey who are getting well and truly beaten in the middle and struggling to hold the ball forward.

Joel Smith has been the stand out with his ability to lead up and mark and his forward pressure.

Harmes is trying to get in to it but has been very fumbly. Laurie has had a number of excellent tap ons and baulks but hasn’t found the space or enough if the ball to really cause damage.

    Anyone wanting McDonald and Brown in next week, forget it. Both just struggling.

    No one really putting their hand up at all except Joel Smith.

    Looks like Petty the only in next week and I'm fine with that.

    for those watching does Ben Brown seem like his body is right? or just plain out of touch and form?

    Not sure I entirely agree. Casey 30 Inside 50s to 23 Box Hill. Looks like a difference in class to me. I agree they need more possession. Like last week Casey are missing Jimmy Munro!

    Not sure if he looks restricted.

    BBB has been getting some involvement, but not coping when an opponent is close to him.

    I’d hazard a guess that the wind would be making it hard for marking forwards. Was really impacting ball movement that quarter.

    I don’t mean to be unkind but is Jefferson’s kyphosis getting more pronounced? Hunchback of Notre-Demon

    BBB and Tmac need to do more at this level.

    hard to get a feel for them as the delivery like last week has been poor

    TMac is trying to bullock his way through and is failing

    Tommy does some good things but then refuses to use first options. He had his man turned around there. Had smith on his outside, not hard to tap it on or flick it up. Yet he tries to go down and fend around or whatever it is. And he does it consistently. If he took simple options every time he got it he’d start playing with more confidence.

    Has to be moved to the backline to get more easy ball IMO. A few weeks down back will help his form more than battling away at half forward

    Our forwards kept getting called for holding in one on one contests which is baffling and not something you see all that often

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
